Recent superhero movies have been bad. Really bad. FirstÂ Batman v Superman, thenÂ Suicide Squad; it feels like a parade of bad plots that are just going through the motions between action sequences.
According to a third-hand rumor about the upcomingÂ BatmanÂ movie, there could be a very good explanation for this: money, and where movies make it.

Despite the fact that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide SquadÂ combined to gross over $1.5 billion at the box office, it's hard to consider them a success. Both movies were hyped beyond belief, but the critical reaction was incredibly harsh, with neither movie managing to top 30% on Rotten Tomatoes.
That's not to say that the DC Extended Universe has no redeeming qualities. In fact, Ben Affleck's Batman was praised in nearly every review I read, which is why everyone is so anxious to learn more about his solo Batman movie.

This movie may be too good to actually exist. Will Arnettâ€™s gloriously self-absorbed Batman. Michael Cera is an amazing loony Boy Wonder. For the Penguinâ€™s sake, Robin literally throws his tights in Batmanâ€™s face. Everything about this Lego Batman Movie trailer is, as they say, awesome.

There are few developers that know how to handle an important property quite as well as Telltale Games. They did it with Back to the Future in 2012, The Walking Dead in 2012 plus Game of Thrones, Minecraft and BorderlandsÂ in 2015.
In 2016, the studio has its biggest challenge yet with Batman: The Telltale Series.

Itâ€™s kind of impossible to say which superhero is the best, since thereâ€™s just too many of them to count, but a seven-year study at the University of Leicester purports to help shine a light on the debate.

Warner Brosâ€™ CinemaCon presentation started off with a bang tonight: a 15-minute spotlight on upcoming DC Films. It touted the huge success of Batman v Superman (and the head of WB confirmed that Ben Affleck will be directing a solo Batman movie), showed the new trailer for Suicide Squad, and did a sizzle reel that included about 30 seconds of new Wonder Woman footage.
